LYNX-DEV META tag problem, lynx 2.6 |

I'm having a problem with lynx 2.6 and caching. The platform is AIX 4.1.4
and I've applied the latest 2-6update.zip. I noticed that a document that
uses a META tag to keep it from being cached, was not being reloaded when
it was revisited. The same document (with small change noted below)
reloads properly with lynx 2.5. Here's a simple cgi script named
"date.cgi" that demonstrates my problem:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo
echo "<meta http-equiv='Cache-Control' content='no-cache'>"
/bin/date
echo "<a href=date.cgi>again!</a>"
I can follow the link forward or backward and get new output with lynx
2.5. With lynx 2.6 it reloads when I go forward, but not when I go
backward (unless I exceed the value of the -cache option). I believe I
built 2.6 with the same options and settings as 2.5. We use lynx on a
menu-based system and one of the screens has to be reloaded when you
return to it. Does anybody have any idea where I may have gone wrong?
Thanks, Mark Westergaard
Note: The "content=' value for lynx 2.5 is "no_cache" rather than
"no-cache" (per src/HTML.c):
echo "<meta http-equiv='Cache-Control' content='no_cache'>"
